Unfortunately, I also have been down the CDRW Media Path as well. Of all the
media that I have used, the only brand that has not given me any trouble
whatsoever on any PC CDROM Drive is TDK 48X CDR Media. Other speeds of TDK,
Maxell, Memorex etc have all produced at best mixed results and since I burn
at least 600 CDs per three month period, I have tested more than my fair
share of CDR and CDRW media. Please keep in mind that all the distros I have
distributed to NYLXS members and other interested parties have always been
TDK or SONY media. I have never had anyone report that the media was not
bootable or readable.
Regards,
Evan

Yes I have bought a new pack. So the possiblity of the quality of the media
may be in question as well.
